Photo: Myrna's Hungarian Pecan Cookies Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup finely chopped pecans
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Lightly grease 2 baking sheets. In the bowl of a mixer, combine the butter and vanilla. Add 1/2 cup of the sugar, then slowly add the flour and pecans and mix just until combined. Use your hands to roll the dough into balls about 3/4-inch in diameter, and arrange them on the baking sheets. Bake 15 to 20 minutes, until golden brown. Meanwhile, spread the remaining confectioners' sugar out on a plate. When the cookies are done, remove from the oven, let cool 3 to 5 minutes, and then roll each cookie in the sugar until coated, letting each rest in the sugar for a minute to absorb it. Let cool completely on wire racks, then store in airtight containers.

My family loves these easy cookies. My 9 yr old grandson helped me roll them out and he had a ball.. Everyone says they are addictive. I made them for Christmas and with 5 days to go, will have to make another batch before the 25th...

FANTASTIC. Easy. Quick. Melt in your mouth. I used margarine instead of butter and could not taste any difference. Also, I noticed if you roll them in the powdered sugar while they are still hot, you may have to do it twice.

I had a lot of pecans left over and was looking for a recipe in which I can use them. Then I came upon this wonderful recipe! The cookies were absolutely delicious, although I made a couple of minor adjustments. I used brown sugar inside the cookie instead of confectioners sugar, and I kept the pecans coarsely chopped for an added crunch. When I tried them, I also wished I split the dough in two and added bourbon to one of the batches. I will definitely do it when I make them again---which will be very soon!
